Description:
Take the South Face Approach and then follow the Ramp to the East Ledges. Look for a right facing dihedral. Pitch 1 (150 ft, 5.8+) start up the corner passing two bulges along the way to the bolt anchor. Pitch 2 (110 ft, 5.9-) follow the crack up to the Meadows. Up and to the right is a nice horizontal crack to set a gear anchor. Summit via the Meadows, or rap via Hollywood & Vine or take the El Cracko rappels.

Climbed in the heat of the summer solstice!
Great climb with great asthetics. The exposure is cool and the pitches are very sustained. Lots of people claim it to be a great hand crack, but there was a ton of finger jams in there for me, with very few hand placements. A classic for sure!
